lowing address to the voters of Salem
county:
DEAR SIR: The Salem County Prohi-
bition Convention which convened at

ing honored me with the nomination for

justice to my friends if / did not in some

take this method Of appearing bcfors the
public. | want each man in the county,
who believes that intoxicants are a curse,
to understand that I solicit his vote, not

libition ticket. ! ask YOU for the sake Of
your wives, SONS, daughters, and all hui
manity, to ignore old party lines and lend
a helping hand to overthrow the greatest
curse on earth. Respectfully,
WAITER S. SPRINGER.

pie in the interest and for the welfare Of

Somebody who evidently thinks the Pro-
hi%bitionists are a parcel Of fools is masquer-
rading under an anonymous circnlar, COM
planning bitterly Of the alleged ''treachery"
of the Prohibitionists, to their principles
and platform, in accepting the withdrawal
Of d. i. Dorrell from the ticket and en-
dorsing William Carney. The writer and
p~romulgator of this %eifusion might as well
put his name to it. It's source is perfectly
well understood. The rum ring must be
badly frightened to resort to the anony,
nous circular dodge. 1t will fail in its
object as such things generally do, The
Prohibitionists know what they are about,
and they are a unit on this matter. Nj.
Dorrell's resignation and Mr.. Carney's en-
dorsement was not brought about under
any idea that Mr.. Dorrell was not a true
temperance man, or not fully capable Of
fulfilling the duties Of the Sheriif's Office.
but because tho Prohibiticnists are deter
mined that il possible the Shcrid's office
shaIl he filed by a man who was not nom
mated by, and whose official duties will
not be performed under the dictation ofth
run ring. Either Dorrell or Carney will
ill the bill, and as there is better hope Of
success in endorsing Carney that course
was taken and will result in Mr.. Carney's
eIection-rnm, Doodle, and anonymous cir
culsrs to the contrary notw outstanding.

Daniel p. Dorrell, a resident of .Alloway,
at the recent Salem County Prohibition
Convention for Sheriff, at which time a full
county ticket was made out. After this all
went smooth enough until the Republi-
cans and Democrats each made ont a tick
ct when Mr.. Dorrell thought he smelled
a mice, in other words saw. or thought he
saw, an effort to defeat a good temperance
candidate by a combination Of the saloon
element, irrespective Of party. This tenn
perance candidate was William Carney,
the Republican nominee for Sheriff. Mr..
Dorrell has lived all his lie in a forlorn-
hope-temperance township, and las so
long opposed singlc-handed the whisky
element in It that he doesn't fool worth a
cent in tricks like the above. His nomina-
ton had unmasked the whisky batteries
and they reasoned that with Dorrell IN the
field to draw Off votes from a temperance
candidate they could elect for Sheriff the
choice of the saloon, and gave It out that
way. This was too much for Dorrell who
at once put himself in communication with
the Prohibition executive board Of the
county, with the result hat the little game
is checkmated by the withdrawal of Dor
rell. The remainder Of the Prohibition
ticket stands as before with a clean cut,
straight out fight between a temperance
man on the Republican and Prohibition
ticket for Sheriff and the choice Of the sa-
loon ON the Democratic ticket. -BraIget0a
